Is it nature or nurture that makes me walk this way? Is it you or is it me that's saying the things I say? You say you're looking at me but all I see is you And I can only wonder at all the things you do Get it right sometime, get it right sometime Someday in an ordinary world We've seen Mother Nature; we've seen her lost and found Still hanging on her apron strings she spins us all around So high, so low sometimes so twisted we can't see I think I'm looking at you but all I see is me Get it right sometime, get it right sometime Someday in an ordinary world Is it rhyme or reason that makes me thinks this way? We think we're really living, we're just living for today We don't seem to know too much our heads are underground And the future keeps on looming regardless of what we've found We have found solid gold can be extracted from the earth With gaudy specks of dead stars we count our worth Someday in an ordinary world We just live in an ordinary world We can do all the ordinary things We will live in an ordinary world Ordinary world
